At first, Letterman didn't believe Colbert's claim that he was in the film. "I'm kind of the breakout star of 'The Hobbit,' Dave," Colbert insisted. "I don't want to tell anybody where I am, but I am in it." He even encouraged Letterman to check out the IMDb page for the film if he didn't believe him.

Sure enough, he's listed as a "Laketown Spy." (It also lists The Hobbit: There and Back Again as another role, albeit as "rumored." This just gets more and more awesome.)
